In one fell swoop, the Pittsburgh Steelers landed one of the best defensive players on the free agent market in linebacker Patrick Queen Tuesday and struck one of the best deals handed out on Day 2 of the legal tampering window.
Queen and the Steelers agreed to a reported three-year, $41 million deal Tuesday, giving the Steelers an All-Pro linebacker at a major position of need. It also gave the Steelers a massive bargain at the position, too, based on the structure of the deal, which landed Queen in Pro Football Focus’ best deals piece Wednesday morning from Brad Spielberger.
